The Full Worm Moon and Lunar Eclipse (Native American) will culminate on March 13, 2025, at 11:55 PM PT / 2:55 AM ET (Farmers Almanac). We have a Total Lunar Eclipse. When we have an eclipse, it’s time to change or let go of something holding us back. Take time to meditate on what you’d like unblocked or cleaned up in your life as it brings something exciting or illuminating to each of us.
The moon will be cast in a reddish copper hue and it will be observable from the Earth’s Western Hemisphere. It will be visible in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, the Atlantic Ocean and the Arctic Ocean.
The Worm Moon wants us to concentrate on strong passions. This refers to profound feelings, enthusiasm, or desires. That energy is part of the life-force, the breath and blood of our existence. We need to feel supported when we connect to the life force and God’s light.
To regain passion we can connect to our values, explore new and exciting events and things, and surround ourselves with wise and helpful people. It is to find the pathway to practicing mindfulness and easy attainment.
Recreate Passion for Life:
1. Regain Perspective
2. Rekindle Friendships
3. Risk your Feelings
4. Create Atmosphere
5. Communicate
6. Listen
7. Don’t Dwell on the Past
8. Share
9. Don’t be harsh
10. Nurture
1. Attention: when you have started a habit or new pattern
2. Admit: what do you need to change
3. Communicate: what you need, to make a difference
4. Select: goals and needs
The aspects of every full moon gently guide us toward connecting to our deepest selves. We’re looking into the meaning of life and a deeper resonance of thought. You are tuning in instead of tuning out. You are allowing what energies are to leave your life, so you fully live the greatest and best you can. You are finally ready, you want to handle living on Earth instead of Earth handling you.

—— Life isn’t a full stream of happy emotions and no problems but it is about creating the life we want to live. Sometimes it is a slow and steady road…

23* Gemini will culminate, on December 15, 2024, 1:02AM PST/4:02AM EST (Farmers Almanac).
You’ve been wanting to express yourself. Make sure you enunciate yourself in the right way. You’ve been searching for the right communication style for a while. You were taught to be polite and the world became anxious and many people used words to thrash and trash others. And now, you don’t always speak your truth. When you decide to start speaking clearly and concisely again, you can do so gently. Allowing truth and wisdom to come to the fore. You don’t need to put others or yourself down for that matter. You are to start being proud of yourself again. Knowing you stayed the course through thick and thin for many years. Upcoming you will feel freer in your speech. Your convictions won’t seem as tense. Life may start flowing toward an easier time, the more you can relax with your feelings and trust your journey, the better you’ll feel.
You aren’t caring about keeping up with the Jones. You want a job that makes you happy. You want a life that feels worthwhile. You want sincere relationships and friendships. You want your actions to match your words. You are going backward in your excitable character, you’re going to look for uniqueness and soundness. You’re going to create your world into being a better place, and when you make it happen your family and friends will follow your lead.

———-
The past is put to rest as you burn through any leftover frustration or self-pity. You are to recapture the essence of your soul goals. While dusting yourself off and breathing in some fresh air, you are now rebalancing your intensity to create new passion, new undertakings, new plans, new hopes, and new dreams. Taking life seriously again for inner satiation. Looking at the redeeming qualities of everyone and everything. You no longer need to process the whys; after all, you’re now getting ready to leave unfinished business and whatever else you accrued… behind.
The first step is your mind in synch with your conversations that match your actions. When you succeed in aligning this, you will notice your life works in miraculous ways.
—— “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” ― Albert Einstein
The Full Beaver Moon (Native American) at 24* Taurus will culminate, November 15, 2024 1:28pm PST/4:28pm EST (Farmers Almanac). Did you know that when you are looking at the moon, you are looking at it as it was 1.28 seconds ago because of the distance by light speed.
This Full Beaver Moon is about keeping your balance and staying steady. No risks at this time, you are building something in your life and if you are slow and steady you will win the race. If you speed past at this time, you will miss something of importance.
It’s a very intense time.
How is it we can help ourselves. We work on our health and well-being first and foremost. And how to do it is… Taking charge of your proactive movement.

Learning to listen again. Drinking plenty of water, and meditate. Resonating with the earth and expecting the very best instead of the very worst.

_____Encouragement is useful. Reassuring another person of the effort they make, not only makes them feel validated but it also makes you feel satisfied. No matter who thinks they act alone on the planet is not telling the truth to themselves. The farmer created food for you to eat and there were contractors to build your house. Let alone all the workers creating electronic equipment, entertainment devices, and cookware. Sewing you clothes and making your soaps, creating medicines and vitamins. We aren’t lone wolves, no matter what. Activate your abilities and strong skills, you have the ability to create the life you long for…
——“Real, constructive mental power lies in the creative thought that shapes your destiny, and your hour-by-hour mental conduct produces power for change in your life. Develop a train of thought on which to ride. The nobility of your life as well as your happiness depends upon the direction in which that train of thought is going.” – Laurence J. Peter
The Full Hunter’s Moon (Native American) at 24* Aries culminating October 17, 2024 4:27AM pacific/ 7:27AM eastern. (Farmers Almanac)
The nights are getting darker now. Rest and Rejuvenate, Dream and Create, Plan and Recharge. This Moon is assertive to aggressive in its urgency for change. Move toward recharging your career goals. You are to settle into making money and creating wellness and harmony for yourself and your family. You are to make improvements in your life. You are not being “asked.” The universe is apparent in its message. Aries is about movement toward a goal. Not thinking about it or even having a sentiment attached to making a decision, it’s clear, dust yourself off and be fresh, be strong, be forthright, and be as clear as you can be. Just leave behind some of the things that are no longer working out for you. Wellness is a key message now. Gain your strength for the winter.
Move toward advancement. Sit with your eyes closed and take a couple deep breaths, remove all pressure, heaviness and worries away.
Relax your mind – Learn to Meditate
Feel Your Body – Be in Gratitude of your Temple
Open the Senses – Breathe in “Life”
Don’t Make too many Decisions – But be decisive
Take a break every few hours – Revive
Stay in touch with your Loved Ones – Be the love
Read Books – brain stimulation

Be the bigger person – keep on track with your life

—We’re to work on creating our personal power this Full Moon Month. All Dreams are born in the dark as our days of light are limited, allow plans and goals to be developed. We can fail many times, but we’ll find what we are looking for eventually. If it’s people, places or things, we are to remain hopeful, polite and adventurous. It’s our birthright to survive and thrive in this world and allows us to become the very best we can be.
—“Progress lies not in enhancing what is, but in advancing towards what will be.”
The Full Corn Moon (Native American) at 25* Pisces will culminate, September 17, 2024 7:36pm PdT/10:36pm EdT (Farmers Almanac). We will have a Partial Eclipse, when we have an eclipse, it’s time to change or let go of something holding us back. Take time to meditate on what you’d like unblocked or cleaned up in your life as It brings something exciting or illuminating to each of us. The lunar eclipse will happen between 4:41pm Pacific / 8:41pm Eastern on Tuesday 9:47pm Pacific and 12:47am Eastern on Wednesday, with the maximum partial phase occurring at 7:44pm pacific /10:44pm eastern. It will be visible across most of the United States, Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa, and Europe.
This moon has you tenderhearted and more sentimental than usual. Your feelings and receptivity are heightened. The partial eclipse assents to discard all those sad, or bad feelings. Being in the human game of life gives us many ups and downs. We will have days we struggle and those where we overcome. It’s time to renew your life again, and what you need to leave behind. Where do we start the resolve…
Well, overcoming our sorrow is always a process. Festering over wrong-doings, feeling forlorn or alone, being stuck, jumping to conclusions, or acting out are all wasting our precious time on earth. Sure we make mistakes or get lost in sadness or remorse. We only have so much time and we should recognize holding on to any negativity blocks our progress. We only need to meditate, visualize, write down, and/or proceed to produce what we want in our future. Progress is our only option. Thinking wisely is a virtue. You might be fortunate in many different ways. But to suffer, we must remember to not wallow too long. We have a life to live. We dust ourselves off and make improvements.

If you know of someone suffering, how do you handle it? Of course, we all know of death and destruction. There are far too many circumstances about the suffering in our neighborhoods, let alone the mass of people in the world. You have many opinions and answers for others. What are the answers for you? How do you take a few moments to create peace for yourself? We must try and live our best life every day, to create peace within our hearts and minds, to live up to those we admire, and then go from there…
—– ““Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” ~Michael Jordan (American Champion)
The Full Sturgeon Moon (Native American) at 27* Aquarius will culminate, on August 19, 2024, 11:28 AM PST/2:28 PM EST (Farmers Almanac). A super moon is only 8% bigger than normal, but when it first appears on the skyline you can see the illusion of how huge it appears!
This Full Sturgeon Moon is about being Unique. When you were a child, who did you think you wanted to be when you grew up? What profession did you want to have? Does your life look anything like you thought it would look? If it doesn’t, how would you want it to change?
Practicing an inner dialog with your younger self, allows you to progress into who you would like to become. It’s not about what happened in the past, it’s only about concentrating on the future. It’s about jumping from your childhood to a new starting point. A fresh standpoint is where you begin believing in yourself and your dreams. Visions of a potential you. You always have enough time to begin a changed aspect of yourself. Or to reach a cherished goal on your bucket list.
Reacting positively toward yourself, allows you to create situations of trust and calmness. People seldom gather their thoughts and wits in disappointment. Allow yourself to stop to listen and learn. If you have to dig deep, then start digging. Allow yourself to start dreaming of the real you.
If we are not able to cope with daily life, we must change. You are not living an authentic life yet. We are supposed to live the life of our dreams. Let’s reprogram our minds with positive reinforcement. Learn with hypnosis, or pure willpower and make some headway. Don’t procrastinate. It’s never too late, we are to create our futures every second of our lives…
To Become Conscious:
Empathy: A sign of emotional intelligence is knowing how you are feeling… and being aware of how others are feeling. Everyone feels differently.
Adaptability: Learning to react appropriately.
Confidence: Being aware of your shortcomings and still acting in faith.
Mindfulness: Becoming aware of the Present. You have this time on the planet to be in the “NOW”.
Patience: Allowing time to be your ally.
Kindness: No-one is perfect. Everyone needs a boost.
Steps to Making Dreams A Reality:
Focus
Intention
Set Goals
Be Inspired
Practice Thankfulness
Surround yourself with positive people
Inner Calmness
Outer Directness
Visualize
Honest Affirmations
Power of Your Thoughts
Power of Your Words

_____ It’s important to set ourselves in a direction for success. The key to flourishing is honest reflection. Becoming
self-aware and waking up to our hopes allows us to focus on goals, strengths, and, positive ambition. Life is about enjoying the process of our motivation and aiming to better ourselves every day while enjoying the journey.
—-“It’s only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth—and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up—that we will begin to live each day to the fullest as if it was the only one we had.” Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
The Full Buck Moon (Native American) at 29* Capricorn will culminate, on July 21, 2024, at 3:17 am Pacific/6:17 am Eastern (Farmers Almanac).
This Capricorn Moon is associated with flourishing and finishing tasks and projects. There are rewards for tasks. It indicates people, places, or things entering or returning in your life to help reach enterprises or desired goals. This leads to good fortune.
All of a sudden inner-sight is clearer, preparing for life to be more open and the future to be brighter. Once where there was a lackluster, now; there is a difference. Hard work pays off. Due diligence has shown the way. Beginning again and again leads to a journey of self-awareness and self-care. Your life is really about emerging again to re-cultivate joy.
Key elements of thought to unlock abilities. Rewards come from recognition and appreciation, these values appeal to fundamental human needs. The Future is calling…

*How to become powerful: You must have role models to emulate, you don’t always have to be liked but you must fulfill what people need. You will have to have a “Strategy and Skill”. You will keep strategizing, knowing how to guide yourselves and others into growth and abundance. Be careful as you can end up working in boring jobs for many years and gain no real power or prestige. You can be wanting recognition. But there is only one thing to remember and again plan for, power has “an end”. You will be usurped by the younger generation or go out of vogue in some way. If you can be fair and aboveboard, you’ll gain respect along with money. You can keep going forward, having a great life, well earned and be treated nicely in old age.
*Using your Intuition: Using your intuition and psychic ability to move forward. Feeling good about the decisions you make. Knowing when wrong feelings happen they can indicate going in a wrong direction.
*When meditating, remember you’re going to go past your mind and it’s set ideas, and proceeding toward the heart, taking it deeper, releasing false sentiments and just float in your divinity, going deeper and deeper to your very essence. Reaching into the core of your being. Shift into knowing you will begin to float in calmness as the eclipse takes away anxiety and confusion, replaced is gifts of knowledge and wisdom, quality of time and being one with your adventure on earth.

“In the world’s audience hall, the simple blade of grass sits on the same carpet with the sunbeams, and the stars of midnight” – Rabindranath Tagore (Indian Poet, Playwright and Essayist, Won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1913, 1861-1941)
Summer Solstice marks the end of the waxing year. And the rays of the sun directly strike one of the two tropical latitude lines. June 21 marks the beginning of summer in the northern hemisphere, as winter begins in the southern hemisphere. On this day, the earth’s “circle of luminescence” will be from the Arctic Circle to the Antarctic Circle. The equator receives twelve hours of daylight, as there will be 24 hours of daylight at the North Pole and 24 hours of darkness at the South Pole.
All over the world people honor this day as an important reminder of the apex of light and to cast away evil and their problems. Northern Hemisphere inhabitants use June 21 as the day of celebration, but the splendor of light lasts from new moon to full moon.
Worshipping the Sun’s great power, all cultures celebrate in some way. Celts and Slavs dance around bonfires while Chinese marked the day honoring Li, the Goddess of Light. The celebrants of modern and ancient ceremonies tune in that life comes from the sun. It is life giving and life supporting. We’ve recently had the good fortune to have electricity, greenhouses, and shipment suppliers. How will you celebrate? We all may not get a chance to dance around the bonfire but it’s a time to bask in the light, sit in the sun, cast our worries away and awaken to our lives.
